API Reference🔗
Portal interfaces are available to sandboxed applications with the default filtered session bus access of Flatpak.
Desktop portals appear under the bus name org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop
and the object path /org/freedesktop/portal/desktop on the session bus,
unless specified otherwise.
Apps running on the host system have access to a special interface for registering themselves with XDG Desktop Portal. Registering a host app with XDG Desktop Portal overwrites the automatic detection based on the XDG cgroup pathname standardization for applications. This might improve the user experience when the host app was launched in a way that doesn’t follow the standard. See org.freedesktop.host.portal.Registry
